Hair Analysis in Bolingbrook, IL
Discover What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You
At Al Shifa Health Center, we offer Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to help you understand your body’s mineral balance, stress response, and potential toxic element exposure. This simple, non-invasive test provides a 3–4 month snapshot of your health and gives us clearer insight into issues like fatigue, headaches, thyroid imbalance, mood changes, weight fluctuations, and inflammation patterns.
What Is Hair Analysis?
Hair analysis measures essential minerals and toxic elements stored in your hair as it grows. It helps reveal:
-
Mineral deficiencies or excesses
-
Stress and adrenal patterns
-
Thyroid and metabolic rate indicators
-
Toxic metals (lead, mercury, aluminum)
-
Nutrient ratios that affect energy, mood, and overall wellness
This information helps us create a more precise, personalized health plan instead of guessing.
